Catalog Printing

These booklets do the work of a whole stack of loose sheets. They cost far less per page than you would expect, they arrive bound and ready to hand out, and the format alone signals that your range is worth a proper look. Want to see how catalogs sit next to the rest of the range? Browse the full lineup on booklets and catalogs printing, or stay here and build yours from the choices below.

The price rewards a bigger run. A set of 25 starts at $240.55, about $9.62 a booklet, and the per-booklet cost keeps sliding as the count climbs, so a full print for a season or a trade show costs far less per copy than a short test batch. Tap any tier below to see the live total and exactly how much each step up saves before you commit.

What is a printed catalog?

A printed catalog is a saddle-stitched, multi-page booklet that puts a full product range in one place. At 4OVER4 catalogs print full color across a cover and inside pages, in 3 sizes from 5.5 by 8.5 inch up to an 11 by 11 inch square, on 7 paper stocks, with page counts starting at 8 pages, all set in the live configurator.

Think of it as your whole lineup in one handout. A Standard Catalog is a folded, stapled booklet with a cover wrapped around a set of inside pages, printed full color so every product photo carries its weight. Retailers use them as lookbooks, wholesalers ship them to buyers, real estate teams build property portfolios, and restaurants print seasonal menus that feel like a book instead of a flyer. If you want a lighter, thinner version of the same format, the Standard Booklets cover it, and the catalog sits right beside it as the product-forward pick.

How much does catalog printing cost?

Standard Catalogs start at $240.55 for 25 booklets at 4OVER4, about $9.62 each. The price scales across 18 quantity tiers up to 5,000, so a larger run drops the per-booklet cost fast, down to roughly $0.24 each at 5,000. Page count, stock, and turnaround adjust the total, and the configurator shows the exact number before you order.

The entry price is $240.55 for your first 25 catalogs. Scale up and the math turns in your favor quickly: 300 run $495.38, 1,000 run $618.39, and a 2,500 run is $835.87. Push to a full 5,000 and the total is $1,195.04, near 24 cents a booklet. So how many do you actually need? Drag the slider below to set your count and watch both the set total and the true per-booklet cost update live, and find the point where one more step up barely moves the budget. If ordering deep is the plan, the bulk discounts make the case plain.

What sizes and page counts can a catalog have?

4OVER4 catalogs come in 3 sizes: 5.5 by 8.5 inch, 8.5 by 11 inch, and an 11 by 11 inch square, with a custom size available up to 11 by 11 inch. Page counts run across 14 options, starting at 8 pages, which is a cover plus 4 inside pages, and climbing from there in the multiples that suit saddle-stitch binding.

Size sets the feel of the catalog. The 5.5 by 8.5 inch is compact and mails easily, a natural fit for a pocket lookbook or a leave-behind. The 8.5 by 11 inch is the full letter page, with room for large photos and detailed spec tables. The 11 by 11 inch square reads like a premium art book and makes a product line look considered, much like the Square Booklets in the same family. Page count is the other lever: start at 8 pages for a tight range and step up through 14 options as your catalog grows, since every added folded sheet brings 4 more pages. If none of the presets fit, a custom size up to 11 by 11 inch is made to order. Everything is grouped below exactly the way the live configurator presents it, so you know what you can change before you change it.

Each blank template is built at the real trim size with the bleed and safe margin already drawn in, so your design never crowds the cut or the spine. Grab the booklet layout that matches your order below, drop your pages in, and upload.

What paper stocks can you choose?

4OVER4 offers 7 paper stocks for catalogs, split between cover and inside pages. Covers run 14pt Gloss Cover, 80# Gloss Cover, 100# Silk/Matte Cover, or a 14pt Uncoated Cover with 30% recycled content. Inside pages print on 100# Gloss Text, 100# Silk/Matte Text, or 70# Uncoated Text.

The stock decides how the catalog reads in the hand. A gloss cover and gloss text make product photos snap, which suits fashion, food, and anything visual. A silk or matte stock cuts glare, so long product descriptions and price lists stay easy to read under store lighting. The 70# uncoated text feels natural and takes a pen, handy when buyers mark up quantities. Covers run heavier than the inside pages to protect the booklet, and the 14pt Uncoated Cover carries 30% recycled content if a greener spec matters to your brand. Seven stocks in total, all printed in-house on the same press so cover and pages match.

How are your catalogs bound and printed?

Every 4OVER4 catalog is saddle-stitched, folded and stapled along the spine, and bound on either the long or short edge. Ink prints black on both sides or full color on both sides. Before production you can go straight to print, request a free online proof, or order a next-day hardcopy proof.

Saddle-stitch binding nests the folded sheets and staples them at the spine, which keeps the catalog slim, lets it open reasonably flat, and holds up well through the page counts offered here. You choose the bound edge: long-edge binding gives a portrait booklet, short-edge binding gives a landscape one. For ink, print black on both sides to keep a text-heavy catalog affordable, or full color on both sides when the photos are the point. And you decide how to check the work before the run: go straight to production, approve a free online proof, or get a next-day hardcopy proof in hand first. Weighing the method against other formats? The Saddle Stitch Booklet page covers the binding in depth, and the guide to binding types lays out every option side by side.

How fast can you get catalogs printed?

4OVER4 prints catalogs on a 7 business day standard turnaround, with faster rush speeds available down to next-day production. You pick the speed in the configurator, and quicker options adjust the price. Files upload as print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG, and 99.8% of 4OVER4 orders arrive on time while 82% ship early.

Standard production runs 7 business days, which keeps the price lowest. When a trade show or a launch is closing in, rush speeds step the timeline down through 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2 days, all the way to next-day production, so you only pay for speed when you actually need it. Upload your artwork as a print-ready PDF, JPG, or PNG, and if a proof gives you peace of mind, add one before the run. When the calendar is tight, the rush delivery options keep the date from being a gamble.

Catalogs are one stop in a much larger lineup, and you can scan the full print product range any time. If a lighter Standard Booklet, a Retail Catalog, or a specialized format like Education Booklets or Photography Booklets would serve you better, the rest of the family is one tap away. Each option shows its own starting price and links straight to its product page, so finding the right fit takes seconds.
